"We don't really know," says Jef. "But we're grateful to GMA for giving us the chance to do a continuing role in 'My Stalking Heart'. We've both guested in other GMA shows, but this is the first time we have regular roles."
Jef used to be Nyoy Volante's squeeze. Nyoy is 9 years older than her while Marvin is 3 years younger than her. They became sweethearts right after "Survivor" ended. "It's been seven months since we met in 'Survivor' and we've gotten to know each other better," says Jef. "Mas na-appreciate ko si Marvin. He's quiet but very maalaga, sweet and caring."
And what does Marvin appreciate in Jef? "We complement each other. I'm quiet and she's bubbly and perky."
They're obviously being built up as a love team and they both have star quality and do look good together on screen. In "My Stalking Heart", Marvin plays Eric, the boyfriend of Doris (Jennica Garcia) who expects him to propose marriage soon. Imagine Jennica's surprise when he tells her instead that he's dumping her as he has found a new girl, Nina (Jef), who's in turn the love of Julio (Carl Guevarra). Both heartbroken, Jennica and Carl then join forces to spy on the activities of Jef and Marvin, become stalkers in the process. Also in the cast of "My Stalking Heart" are Caridad Sanchez, Jay Aquitania, Dexter Doria and Gene Padilla, directed by Mac Alejandre.
